3.2 Manta M8P V2.0 and CB1 Connection

1. Carefully align the CB1 core board with the dedicated header on the Manta M8P V2.0.
2. Gently press the CB1 into place, ensuring all pins are correctly seated.
3. Connect the necessary power and communication cables to the Manta M8P V2.0.

3.3 Stepper Driver Installation (TMC2209)

1. Insert the TMC2209 stepper drivers into the designated slots on the Manta M8P V2.0, paying attention to the orientation.
2. Ensure heatsinks are properly attached to the drivers for thermal management.

3.4 EBB SB2209 CAN Tool Board Installation

The EBB SB2209 is designed for drop-in installation, particularly for setups like the Voron StealthBurner. Its careful header spacing and location simplify wiring.

Figure 7: Illustration of the EBB SB2209's drop-in installation design, showing how it integrates with a Voron StealthBurner without complex soldering.

1. Mount the EBB SB2209 to your extruder assembly (e.g., Voron StealthBurner) using appropriate hardware.
2. Connect the CAN bus cable from the EBB SB2209 to the Manta M8P V2.0.
3. Connect the hotend, thermistor, fan, and other extruder components to the EBB SB2209.

3.5 HDMI5 Display Connection

1. Connect the HDMI cable from the HDMI5 display to the Manta M8P V2.0 or CB1 (depending on your specific setup and Klipper configuration).
2. Connect the USB cable for touch functionality from the HDMI5 display to an available USB port on the Manta M8P V2.0 or CB1.

4. Operating Instructions

Once all components are installed and Klipper firmware is configured, you can begin operating your 3D printer with the BIGTREETECH Stealthy High Speed Solution.

4.1 Klipper Interface

Interact with your 3D printer primarily through the Klipper web interface (Mainsail or Fluidd) accessible via a web browser, or directly through the HDMI5 touchscreen.

4.2 HDMI5 Touchscreen Operation

The HDMI5 display provides an intuitive interface for direct control and monitoring of your 3D printer.

Figure 8: The user interface on the HDMI5 touchscreen, demonstrating its capacitive touch capabilities for intuitive operation of printer functions.

• Navigation: Tap icons to access different menus (e.g., Move, Extrude, Fan, Temperature).
• Control: Adjust printer parameters, start/stop prints, and monitor status directly from the screen.
• Responsiveness: The capacitive touch screen offers a smooth and responsive user experience.

4.3 High-Speed Printing

The combination of the Manta M8P V2.0's powerful MCU, the CB1's processing capabilities, and Klipper firmware enables significantly higher printing speeds and improved print quality. Ensure your printer's mechanical components are capable of handling increased speeds.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your BIGTREETECH components.

• Dust Removal: Periodically clean dust from the control board and drivers using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.
• Cable Connections: Verify that all cables are securely connected and free from damage. Loose connections can lead to intermittent issues.
• Firmware Updates: Keep your Klipper firmware and any associated BIGTREETECH firmware updated to benefit from bug fixes and new features.
• Thermal Management: Ensure proper airflow around the Manta M8P V2.0 and stepper drivers. Overheating can lead to performance degradation or damage.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

6.1 Lost Steps or Jittering

If your printer experiences lost steps or motor jittering, especially during high-speed movements, it could be related to stepper driver configuration or mechanical issues.

Figure 9: Comparison of print quality with and without jitter, illustrating how SpreadCycle technology in TMC drivers helps achieve smoother motion and prevents lost steps.

• Verify Driver Settings: Ensure your TMC2209 drivers are correctly configured in Klipper, utilizing features like SpreadCycle for smoother operation.
• Motor Current: Check if the motor current (TMC_CURRENT) is set appropriately for your stepper motors. Too low current can cause lost steps, too high can cause overheating.
• Mechanical Inspection: Inspect belts for proper tension, pulleys for secure attachment, and linear rails/rods for smooth movement.

6.2 Display Not Responding

• Cable Check: Ensure both the HDMI and USB cables for the HDMI5 display are securely connected.
• Power: Verify the display is receiving power.
• Klipper Configuration: Confirm that your Klipper configuration includes the necessary settings for the display.

6.3 CAN Bus Communication Issues

• CAN Wiring: Double-check the CAN bus wiring between the Manta M8P V2.0 and the EBB SB2209 for correct polarity and secure connections.
• Termination Resistors: Ensure CAN bus termination resistors are correctly enabled/disabled as per your setup (typically 120 Ohm at each end of the bus).
• Klipper Configuration: Verify the CAN bus settings in your Klipper configuration file.
